Spring 2015 Collection

I'm excited to announce my Spring 2015 collection of pillows! Along with my own custom designs, I have also included found and vintage textiles to the shop in limited editions and will be adding new items here and there. This collection is by far my favorite and was inspired by worldly travels and my ever growing collection of vintage ethnic fabrics. Because I'm a huge fan of pattern mixing, all of the designs are in the same color palette so they can be mixed and matched.

See and shop the whole collection here.

Sneak Peek of my newest collection

Currently I've been gathering inspiration and designing my newest collection of textiles. Here is a little peek into some of the patterns...

I'm hoping to show you more the closer I get to picking the final designs.
     

Will's Bedroom Reveal

I'm finally sharing a few photos of Will's room! It has been a work in progress and I've been collecting and putting things together over the past year. I probably could have finished it much quicker than I did, but if you've ever designed anything for yourself you know how hard it can be. It's much easier to design for others. Because we moved a lot over the past several years, I've never really completed a space for Will so I thought it was time. I knew I wanted a space that could grow with him and reflect his personality. I also wanted a space that felt light and bright with a bit of fun. He is a four year old boy after all! I think spaces for kids don't have to feel too childish and themed, but should have some elements of playful and fun. While there are still a few things left to finish like window treatments, brass knobs for the dresser and I would like to eventually get a headboard, but for now I'm happy with how it came together.

Summer Collection 2014

I'm back!!!! It was kind of nice to step away for a few weeks and take some time, plus I've been extremely busy working on my new summer collection. Here are a few photos from the shoot we had a few weeks ago. My inspiration for this collection came from Palm Springs in the 60s and is full of tropical and feminine patterns that are perfect for summer. See the collection here if you'd like...

Summer collection sneak peek

I've been finishing up a few new summer prints that will be hitting the shop in the next few weeks. Here's a little sneak peek. Picking colors is my favorite part of designing, however it can also be the most difficult part as well. Can't wait to show you more in the next few weeks!
 

Taking online classes

Have you ever thought of taking online classes? I took a couple of classes in college about Photoshop and can't remember a thing I learned. I've always wanted to learn Photoshop and Illustrator and increase my knowledge in photography. I decided to try taking a an online class at Nicole's Classes and ended up taking several because I couldn't get enough. Today I'm sharing my experience over on Nicole's Classes' blog about skills I learned that helped me start my own business.

You can see it here it you'd like.

IE Design Preview

Hello friends. Things have been crazy busy over the past few weeks as I'm preparing to open my shop. I'm excited to announce that tomorrow is the day! Here is a little sneak peek at some of the designs.

 

What I've been up to

You may have noticed fewer posts here the past couple of weeks and that's because I've been busy working on a new business. I'm in the works of setting up a shop with some of my designs. It's something I've always wanted to do and after reading Joy's The Art of Being a Goal-Getter and a little motivation from family and friends, I decided to go for it. I can't wait to share more with you in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned. I've also got some new blog posts coming up including some new DIY projects.
